Excitement is building as we approach March 10, 2025, when fans of Call of Duty Warzone will finally get more details about the return of the beloved Verdansk map. Activision had previously announced in August that Verdansk would be making a return to Warzone, but the timeline was only broadly described as "spring 2025." Now, the countdown is on, with a pop-up in the Call of Duty shop revealing "The Verdansk Collection" and setting the stage for an announcement a week from today, according to InsiderGaming.
The teaser features a simple, tri-color sketch of an alpine landscape, complete with snow, pine trees, a dam, and a crashed plane—elements that will be instantly recognizable to those who've spent countless hours in Warzone's original sandbox. This iconic setting was replaced by Verdansk '84 in Season 3 and then by Caldera in 2021. Currently, the only way to revisit Verdansk is through Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. This news will be a welcome surprise for those who were told in 2021 that "current-day Verdansk is gone and it's not coming back."
In other Call of Duty news, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 2 is now live, bringing with it a slew of exciting updates. Players can dive into five new Multiplayer maps named Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet, and Grind. The fan-favorite Gun Game mode makes a return, alongside new weapons and operators. Not to be missed is the extravagant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event, adding a fun twist to the game.
On the Warzone front, the game's update was lighter than anticipated. The development team is focusing on resolving some critical issues, including gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, to ensure a smoother experience for players.
